Main Dialog

The Main Dialog is where you do your work in AstroFlat Pro. While there are other dialog boxes for things like licensing and configuration, all of the controls you need to process your image are right here.

Note that this is a resizeable dialog, and it will come up next time where you last used it.

Tools

The Tools, accessible via the icons along the left edge, allow you to adjust how you see the image displayed in the viewport. You can use these tools to set the portion of the image that is displayed (pan) and its magnification level (zoom). See the Tools section for a complete description of these tools and their uses.

Preview Viewport

The Preview Viewport, the left part of the Main Dialog, shows you what your image will look like with the settings you have chosen. See the Preview Viewport section for more detail.

Settings

The settings all along the right side are what you will use to control the flattening. Change the settings of the sliders (or enter values in the edit boxes) until your image looks just the way you want in the Preview Viewport, then press the [ OK ] button. See the Settings section for more info on just how to use these settings.

Control And Information

These Main Dialog controls provide you with ways to configure your preferences for plug-in operation or to get more information about the plug-in. See the Control And Information section of this manual to learn what these controls do and when they will be visible in the Main Dialog.

OK and Cancel Buttons

The [ OK ] button is used to commit your work back to your image.

The [ Cancel ] button may be used to quit the AstroFlat Pro plug-in and return to your image editor without making any changes.

Reset Button

When you hold down the Alt key, the main dialog's [ Cancel ] button changes to [ Reset ]. The [ Reset ] button, when pressed, will return all the parameters to their Initial Settings.
